Most people don't shun to the degree the JWs do. So much has been written about shunning, much of it listed in this shunning and disfellowshipping directory, quite a numbe of links to websites that deal with this issue. It's definately on people's minds.

What makes people ok with shunning?
by Butterflyleia85 init almost seems easy to some... or like a weird funny feeling like they are doing something wrong if they go against something inside of them and actually speak to marked (people they are told to shun) people.. (sorry to be bias in this but only exaggerate circumstances to make my point).
jehovah's witness for one are known to shun disfellowshipped members.. but also there is:.
popular kids at schools who shun unpopular kids at school.. rich people who ignore poor people.. some whites that are still racest shun black and vs.. some older proper/religious ones with high moral standards shunn or at least look down one the rebels.. ...seriously does it make life easier for them or something?.

How far away from their original beliefs are JW's?
by besty ini was struck by a quote in a very recent watchtower claiming that wts publications are now part of the bible.
quite a bold statement.. how about these two quotes beside each other:.
we would not refuse to treat one as a brother because he did not believe the society is the lord's channel.

Born Ins vs Converts
by Red Piller infirst of all, let me say that i do think this excuse of a religion is on a downward spiral, which will only accelerate.. as a born in, i always read comments here about how dedicated and hard-line we are.
most of the born ins (who stayed) develop a casual attitude toward everything.
even if you believe it, hearing about armageddon, constantly, doesn't excite you as much when it's the 1,000th time you've heard it.

by observador inhi guys,.
have you heard of this group?
take a look at the article.. it's amazing that journalists don't even mention the jw organization in this type of article, despite a rich history of this type of prediction and the number of followers in the us... just shows how irrelevant this organization has become.. article here: http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20110103/ap_on_re/us_rel_apocalypse_soon.

Its Just a Theory NOT ABOUT EVOLUTION
by peacefulpete inok and i'm serious, please no rabid flame war allowed on this thread.
please, they are not helpful at all.
i am posting this link to an article, apparently written in all sincerity, that insists that true science supports a geocentric universe and denounces all supposed evidence for the earth turning and revolving as just "theory".

Did you ever think that Satan wasn't trying hard enough to tempt you?
by JimmyPage inthe wt would always say things like "satan knows our weaknesses and how to exploit them".. so if he knew i wouldn't be able to resist a hot chick as a teenager, why wasn't that wily serpent sending them my way by the bucketfuls?.
if he knew i wouldn't be able to resist a job offering me six figures a year, why wasn't that angry lion trying to devour my spirituality with it?.
it was damn disappointing!
